gone,” said Dr. Colan as he walked away from the operating table and slowly drew off his surgical mark.
“I’ll collect the blood,” said Dr. James.
“Sure, sure,” said Dr. Colan as he walked right through Victor and Lorenz standing at the door to the operating room.
Victor watched as Dr. Colan’s exited through the operating room doors. He glimpsed his reflection in the shiny glass embedded in the door. He smiled.
“There you are,” said Lorenz. “You are free, Adonari, free.”
Adonari studied his reflection. He was no longer a cherubim, he was now a Seraphim with larger wings.
“We have a little job to do. Come let’s go,” said Lorenz.
Lorenz darted through the walls and Adonari followed leaving his old life behind.
“Right, the children,” whispered Adonari to himself as they reached the foyer of the Medical Complex.
“You get the folks on the outside and I’ll get the ones in the foyer,” said Lorenz.
Adonari dashed to the courtyard and laid his hands on the children one at a time. As he touched them, the blueness disappeared and they were healed.
The children were elated. When he finished with the children, he glimpsed Mayor Trudeau and his fleet of officers comatose and sprawled out on the floor.
Adonari paused. He remembered how they beat him to a pulp while he was Vampire Victor.
The police batons cracked every bone they came in contact with. He turned away from them. Lorenz was behind him.
“You have to do it. Forgive these who trespass against you.”
“I don’t want to. They bruised me because they did not take the time to understand me,” said Adonari.
“What did you expect? They saw you biting their kids,” said Lorenz. “They didn’t know.”
“They didn’t wait,” said Adonari.
‘They didn’t know,” said Lorenz.
Adonari looked in Lorenz’s face them hung his head.
“Adonari, you are different now. Remember.”
Adonari waited no longer. He walked over to the comatose Trudeau, laid his hand on his head and within seconds Trudeau’s natural pink color returned.
Lorenz came over and laid hands on the battalion of officers. Adonari looked at Principal Benoit and walked over to her. She was also comatose and completely blue.
Adonari placed his hands on her head. She remained blue.
He placed his hands on her heart and yet she laid still.
“She’s dead,” said Lorenz who stood behind Adonari.
“The virus had an extreme reaction in her body and accelerated her death.”
Adonari stood up as Dr. Colan and Dr. James rushed out to witness everyone getting up.
“Let’s go. We have a meeting to attend,” said Lorenz as he shot into the air.”
“Okay,” said Adonari as he took to flight with his new wings. From seemingly everywhere, Holy Angels gathered in air zooming towards their meeting at the Grand Canyon.
In what took only moments, The Holy Angels descended on the northern part of the top of the Grand Canyon. Lorenz led this band of Holy Angels.
The sun began to set in the clear blue sky.
There were One Hundred of them packed in a circle. Lorenz stood in the center. He addressed them as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descended in their midst.
“Greetings, Holy Brethren. I call to order on this day an emergency meeting of Band 35. We thank the Almighty for his blessings and manifold favor,” said Lorenz.
The Band members whispered amongst themselves.
“Yes, yes. I’m sure you have recognized that there is a new one among us,” said Lorenz. They stared at Adonari.
“Well, really he is not new. My Holy Brethren I reintroduce Adonari back to the fold. He is now Seraphim Adonari as you can see.”
“Seraphim?” shouted Mungar the Cherubim. The Holy Angels looked at Mungar who elevated above the group.
Mungar hovered in mid-air as the Holy Angels erupted in clamoring and discord.
“Brethren, Brethren. Order, please order,” said Lorenz.
The dove flew away. The noise stopped as Mungar continued.
“I am a Cherub. I
